The Junior Wallabies extended squad has descended on Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast today for the squad’s third preparation camp ahead of the Oceania Rugby U20s Championship next month.

The Squad of over 40 players, featuring 15 Queenslanders, continue Australia’s preparation ahead of the Championship as well as the World Rugby U20s Championship to be held in France this June.

The Junior Wallabies will be bolstered by players returning from Super Rugby clubs including Tate McDermott, Harry Hockings, Angus Blyth and Harry Hoopert from the Queensland Reds.

The camp comes as the Six Nations U20s continues to rage in Europe and the UK with Australia’s Pool challengers for the World Rugby U20s Championship, Wales currently sitting in fourth place following a shock loss to Italy, 18-7.
